As for me, I moved out from my folk's place about 2 days after I graduated high school last year.
Lived on my own for a few months in a small 2 bdrm apartment taking classes at university, then my new room-mate moved in.
I highly reccomend that you live with someone, even if its not your girlfriend. Its very hard to live entirely on your own if you're still a student/working entry level jobs.
Just make sure you like the person and can tolerate all their bad habits. You might think you like a person, but living with them really gets to you eventually.
Then after I dropped out of Univ, my interest-free loan from the bank of Ma and Pa ran dry, so I worked a large number of bad jobs and was perpetually broke. But as long as I had enough for beer and internet I was doing allright.
..And since I'm in the army and start saturday, I've lived at my folk's house for the past month doing farmhand work.
So, my main advice is live with other people, rent is tough to pay on your own.
